We grow invested in our friends on screen over the years; spending Christmas with them is a rite of passage, a chance for us to share tradition from our world with the fictional ones we see on screen. Some shows embrace the season wholeheartedly, characters in good spirits and enjoying the trappings of the season; others skew a little darker,...

Some shows embrace the season wholeheartedly, characters in good spirits and enjoying the trappings of the season; others skew a little darker, bringing the more oppressive, burdensome side of the holidays to life. Either way, Christmas episodes tend to demonstrate the strengths of our favourite series, and it’s long been a festive ritual of mine to wheel out old DVD sets and settle back for a few favourites during December.

Buchanan: Moving on
The CEO of Australia’s pay TV body is to leave the organisation. Petra Buchanan has been boss of the Australian Subscription Television and Radio Association since 2009.
Her contract ends in September but at the request of the Astra Board she will stay in the role for another six months to assist with the transition period as the new CEO takes the reigns. Recent months have seen Australia’s two major subscription players merge with the coming together of Austar and Foxtel.
Astra chairman Steve Bracks said in a press release: “During her leadership of Astra, Ms Buchanan has pioneered significant developments in the organisation across policy and regulation, government reviews and inquiries including Stv’s position and input to the Convergence Review, new legislation of captioning and issues regarding spectrum access for Stv.”
Hogan: Out
Buchanan is not the only player from TV marketing bodies to be on the move.

CNBC is reporting that Judge Clifford Cretan, who approved the original search warrant which led to the raid on Gizmodo blogger Jason Chen's house, is releasing the warrant itself. It's an easy decision to make; Wired already released the name of the person who sold the iPhone to Gizmodo, and most of the details are extremely public knowledge. So what does the warrant show?
First, it shows that Apple did indeed call the San Mateo police department to report the iPhone stolen and request an investigation, which was the catalyst for this whole disaster. The case was turned over to React, the state's high-tech crimes unit, to investigate.
But more importantly, it explicitly refers to Brian Hogan, the person who found and sold the iPhone, as a suspect, while Jason Chen is not referred to as a suspect. It also (for the last time, people) calls Gizmodo an "Internet based magazine,...
